Well, the weekend is over. My daughter was down last week and I took her back to Durham today...it's a blue kind of feeling. Having her here was great, but we didn't get much of a chance to spend real time together. It's ok - we'll make up for it later. She had family and friends to visit this time around. Next time, I'll take a day off from work so we can pal around and shop.
Friday night, while the daughter was watching a movie so scary I couldn't stay in the same room (scary movies make it too hard to fall asleep, have you noticed? After seeing the exorcist, I swore off of those forever - trust me, when you have those images in your head and nobody told you they let the cat back in?...Well, it's an experience you just can't forget)...anyway, as I was saying - while she was watching something completely mind blowing, I logged on to the internet and suddenly an IM popped up. It was my old friend, Joshua, who hosts my domain on his server. I have (had) a weblog called Spring Cleaning. It's a "place" I used to write all the time....I asked him if he would take it down for me, and he said he would. I started blogging there in 2001. That seems like such a long time ago. Joshua didn't want me to lose my history, though, and he created another page on my domain for the blog, transferred my life there, and it's nice. I just don't journal much anymore. So Ladybug Bert, if you look for Spring Cleaning and it isn't there and you want the link, email me and I'll send it to you.
The coming week will be a busy one. My boss will be out tomorrow, there's a Banquet for the volunteers coming up and someone volunteered me to sit at the door and greet the guests of honor and hand them their folders from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Hate when that happens...but it will be a new experience, and I can use the comp time to leave early on Friday.
The new job is going well EXCEPT for some data entry problems - entering additional sentences and consolidating them. It isn't so easy. When the inmates come back from court and are given additional prison time, part of my job is to enter the information from the commitment into the network for concurrent/consecutive sentences. The trouble comes in when looking up codes for the offenses. They're in the system under ?F2 and a few letters to help narrow the search. Good golly, you would think you could just type in breaking and entering and come up with that code, but typing in parts of the word brings up 2,000 offenses to scroll through....it's ok. Eventually, I'll get it. I think. Everything is still new...General statutes, restitution...codes for judges names, even. Brings on a case of brain fog.
One last thing and I'll stop typing my way out of the weekend. It was wonderful to see that Walmart has backed away from collecting back the insurance money from the employee who was brain injured in a car accident. It seemed heartless (IS heartless) for the company to ask for the money back because she won a law suit against the trucking company whose driver was responsible for the wreck. Sad...more and more companies are adopting that policy to fit into the small print. Happily, though, Walmart has dropped the matter in this case. I'm glad...thought I was going to have to boycott them.
Y'all have a good week.

I already refuse to shop at Walmart, but glad with their ultimate decision in this case.
Yes, the weekend is over. I'm glad you at least had some time together. I rather liked mine as well.
Sounds like things there are moving along and looks like a busy week for us both! Hope it goes smoothly for you. Martha :-)
I'm glad you had a nice visit with your daughter, even if you couldn't spend as much time together as you'd like (can you every?). I'm glad the new job is working out well. I know you'll get the new data entry procedures you're having to learn. I hope your week goes very well!
